Teaching

Teaching Approach

My teaching connects public administration theory with the institutional, organizational, and community problems students encounter in practice. I encourage students to move beyond simple answers, examine problems from multiple perspectives, and use theory and evidence to develop sound professional judgment. My approach is shaped by an interdisciplinary background in public administration, urban planning, and community development, and emphasizes discussion, applied analysis, case-based learning, and reflection.
